Michelle Obama knows "Black don't crack, but" ...
Fun article on Michelle Obama's comments to People re plastic surgery, botox.
His mother's views on the subject;
Good answer!
I have a friend who is ten years older than I, and looks ten years younger. I can't see her needing work for another 5-10 years, which would put her at 70-75. Not too shabby! Most women who go that way are looking at tune-ups when they are around 50 (Michelle's age, in two days.)
Fun article on Michelle Obama's comments to People re plastic surgery, botox.
“Black don’t crack” is a favorite African American aphorism to explain why, generally speaking, blacks can look younger than they are. During my years at the New York Daily News, my editorial board colleague Karen Hunter and I would counsel others on the board to “add 10” whenever talking about the age of an African American in the news or with whom we’d just met if the person’s age was not known.
That first lady Michelle Obama turns 50 on Friday is widely known. That she, too, is an age-defying beauty is plainly apparent. That she won’t rule out Botox, fillers or a “refresher” in the future has my head cocked in a “say what now?!” pose. According to The Post’s Helena Andrews of the Reliable Source, Obama tells People magazine, “Right now, I don’t imagine that I would go that route. But I’ve learned to never say never.”
His mother's views on the subject;
Let me tell you something. . . . There are a very few blacks that don’t crack. Maybe not as soon as our white sisters, but we do crack. We keep our cars tuned up and running well, so why not our bodies[?] If someone gets a dent in their car, how long do you think they would drive around with that dent? So we should treat the lines and sagging on our bodies like the dents in [our] cars. . . . “Have them removed” and don’t apologize.
